MOBILE, Alabama -- Mobile police have arrested 52-year-old Steve Allen after he entered his neighbor's residence in an attempt to elude officers.

Police were initially called to the 1400 block of Watermain Street for a domestic violence complaint. When officers responded Allen entered his neighbor's residence and struggled with officers as police attempted to arrest him.

On July 1 Allen was booked into Mobile Metro Jail and charged with indecent exposure and harassing communications. Mobile Police Department Public Information Officer Terence Perkins said Allen had went to his neighbor's residence, pulled his pants down, then walked off.
